Hi, In HTML there is a way to measure the width of a Text before printing it on screen as in https://www.w3schools.com/tags/canvas_measuretext.asp
In R we have nchar() function which just measures the number of letters in a Text, but I wonder if we can measure the width of text as well. I have a shiny app where I need to print a text in an Area onto the screen which has a specific width, so some the texts are not showing within that area (overflowing), where some are though all of them have the equal number of letters. Thanks for any input.
